I'm incredibly impressed and also very surprised at the same time, about how anybody at all could have that amount of control and consistency in doing what is seen here. It's amazing. I need to get practising.
Great exercises for the usually weaker left hand. I like the way you incorporate some improv. into the practice, making it sound musical and interesting.
I think I learnt some valuable knowledge just from what you did with the inversions and right hand octaves using 1 - 5 - 6 - 4 at 0:18. That would great for pop ballads. Enjoyed the rest of the video too :)
Hi there, my fingers are small and I can barely stretch an to an octave, and am not able to press an octave key without hitting the neighbouring keys, what should I do?
Goldfish Girl you are in an incredible disadvantage if you cannot reach an octave i suggest you tilt your hands upward to lessen the length needed to reach the octave
i am new with this instrument . I know nothing about it . all I know is plug in the power and hit it with the finger and produces sounds. I am looking for the fingering practice and im doing easy stuffs only not the difficult ones . I hope I can play your techniques. Thank you
RattleHeadMonty Hi Monty! Welcome to a fun and rewarding journey. I hope you can handle the exercise but it might be slightly too advanced for a complete beginner, so don't despair if you can't get it. There are plenty of other videos on youtube with all sorts of interesting exercises!
RattleHeadMonty I picked this instrument up like a month ago having played it less than 10 times in my entire lifetime (played as in smashed random keys and produced sounds) and all I knew was the key layout and I guess I could kinda read sheet music very slowly. Now I can kinda play a bit and actually know what I'm doing sometimes and read sheet music a bit faster and I don't find this kind of exercises particularly challenging. Having played guitar some time ago may have helped a little, though. Soon you will kinda know what you're doing too :D
***** I hope so thank you very much. I need more motivational words haha because there is no one who says yes you can do it here . lol anyways ... im still with my fingering stuff and I know major and minor cords till now ...
+RattleHeadMonty I wish you a lot of fun with guitar! I started out on guitar 50 years ago, then added trombone. I took to piano, clarinet and trumpet when I got old and had more time. I can assure you, piano and guitar are easy instruments. Trumpet is by far the most challenging one, as it's a mixture of music and sports.
Thanks by heart for these awesome videos. you r awesome. I learn much from your videos.even thanks is not enough.hope u will continue 2 upload piano lessons .thank u again.
Thank you so much for your videos! It's so nice to find an instructor that seems passionate about what they do and creates such interesting videos. I'm teaching myself to play piano, and your videos really inspire me to practice more :)
I am doing this for a music project but I need evidence (sheet music) for all the exercises I do so is there any way I can find the sheet music to these exercises anywhere? Thanks for the exercise anyways. It really helps!!
If I was to download all your videos, where should I begin? Your tutorials are very informative but I find myself alternating between basic and advanced...
That's kind of the vibe of my channel. I target intermediate players who are stuck in the "middle hell" of having completed all of the easy basic stuff, but not having made it into advanced territory yet. As such, my videos don't have a linear ordering to them. I don't think I can give you any advice other than to just sample videos randomly. Maybe one day I'll sit down and try to see if there's some sense in viewing them in a particular order ...
I am one of those intermediate players who is stuck in "Middle Hell". Thank you for thinking of me. This presentation was extremely useful. Thanks again!!~!
i am a beginner, then from your statement above I decide that your channel is just not enough for us the beginners. I think there are many and better piano tutorials that kind and more informative to us the beginners. Just dont think you are the kind of teacher that we the beginners are looking for. I cancel my subscription.
sir that was an excellent lesson...also I am learning piano for 3 years and I want to develop my left hand...so can u do a lesson on hand independence..
sir thanks for this excellent lesson, can you make or suggest some lessons on left hand tech, which help to develop excellent arpeggio in any song or music
hi, may i know what is the technique at 2:15 called? the one which you alternate between tapping for example the C note one octave apart. like tapping those two notes really fast.thanks!
Alternating between two notes (or two groups of notes) is called a tremolo. What I play at 2:15 is not exactly a tremolo because the two notes keep changing as I climb up the octaves. If this has a formal theoretical name I'm unfortunately not familiar with it.
Hullo. Thanks a lot for the Left hand octave video. I have started practising it. My query is "I am using Left hand finger 5 on the lower octave note and Left hand finger 1 on the higher octave note. I do this for each note in the octave. When I need to press a black key (for major scales other than C major), should I use other fingers."? I ask this question because I tend to avoid fingers 5 & 1 for black keys". One more request. Can you pl. let me know other chords which are good for practising?
Yeah, it really taxes you when you start out. It'll take some time before you can do fast octaves (the alternating octaves are particularly a killer). Just listen to Beethoven's Pathetique Sonata for what would a really trained hand/wrist can do: Barenboim on Beethoven "Pathetique" 1st movement (the fast part starts just after 1:50).
Thanks by heart for these awesome videos. you r awesome. I learn much from your videos.even thanks is not enough.hope u will continue 2 upload piano lessons .thank u again.

There's a song that I'm trying to master that has left hand arpeggiated octaves in the bridge and these exercises will definitely help...thank you!

Love from India. ❤️🇮🇳
The tremolo from the pathetique sonata is what will build your octaves fast! It also sounds nice, very post-punkesque if you know what i mean.
Very good lesson
Great tutorial
Is playing the same octave with both hands at the same time to get used to use both hands is right?thanks
Thanks by heart for these awesome videos. you r awesome. I learn much from your videos.even thanks is not enough.hope u will continue 2 upload piano lessons .thank u again.
Thanks Gajanand! I have no plans to stop, and with some luck I'll be able to keep up the current pace of about 1 video per week. See you next week!

Thank you sir
You're welcome.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Beautiful method
Excellent!

Thank you so much for your videos! It's so nice to find an instructor that seems passionate about what they do and creates such interesting videos. I'm teaching myself to play piano, and your videos really inspire me to practice more :)
Great vid as usual. Thanks!
Thanks for liking & commenting. Next week we're going to have a video about some interesting and jazzy quartal harmonies (aka voicing in fourths).
Thanks. It's a big help :)
I am doing this for a music project but I need evidence (sheet music) for all the exercises I do so is there any way I can find the sheet music to these exercises anywhere? Thanks for the exercise anyways. It really helps!!
I'm afraid not ...
+MangoldProject No problem...thanks anyway :D
my damn thumb hooks when I spread out, trying hard to get it to stay bent inwards towards the keys.
Right hand no problem, but the same thing happens to me with left hand....
Awesome
Very informative lesson indeed

I think I can do this. Thanks 4 posting
Cool! I see I have to come up with more devilish exercises for the sequel :).
Go easy on us :-)

Dang, I like how that keyboard sounds.

Rx,
hi, can you do videos on how to accompany hymns on piano?
It woud be great !
need this for heroic polonaise
Is your pianos low octave is untuned ?
It sounds really horrible when u play Bass octaves plz check
All complaints about piano patches should be directed towards Roland.
@@MangoldProject yeah it strikes like very bad but ur video is good
U own rolAng u should report them
I'm a krome Korg user
SUPER
Your comment reminded me of Molesworth.
Okay, I'll call it a "crab walk" to memorise. ❤️🦀
....alcohol-free? Twice? 🙈🙈🙈🙈
@@user-sq2ql9gp8u What?
@@antaravaishnavi Ahh it just that I remembered Twice’s (kpop group) Crab Dance from their comeback called “Alcohol-free” 😻

Slow down on boogie stuff please
👍👍👍
Oh
play alkans etude op 35 no 5 and you never have to work on octave improvement...
تمرين رقم 2 . لنسميه مشية الدودة
👍👍👍🌷🌷🌷.
From my point fo view just play songs u like with both hands and you'll master the piano.....
so if your fingers cant reach octaves. it's game over
Nah, it's practice start.
alternating octave bass, also known as every synth pop bass line ever
This exercise gave both my hands a work out.. It feels like i've been lifting weights.
Yeah, it really taxes you when you start out. It'll take some time before you can do fast octaves (the alternating octaves are particularly a killer).

Cant even do 0:18 without my pinky hurting lol.
That's the way it is at the beginning.
I have just started a couple of months ago, and my fingers hurt like mad for a month; now I am much better. Loving the piano.
Thanks by heart for these awesome videos. you r awesome. I learn much from your videos.even thanks is not enough.hope u will continue 2 upload piano lessons .thank u again.
